Finnish Culture...

| It's not all that often that we encounter
| things from Finland here in Portland. So
| imagine my surprise when we're on our way to
| our weekly date-night with Tove, and our
| baby-sitter is gushing about this adorable
| and wonderful Finnish YouTube video.. She
| apparently have been watching it three or
| four times a day for the last few days
| (weeks?), laughing hysterically.

Ksplice - Never reboot your Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Ksplice seems like a very interesting
| project. The prospect of reboot-less usage is
| most appealing, considering the complexity
| and the dire need for availability in some
| environments, where bringing systems down is
| simply impossible.

Oh time suspend your flying 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Some days ago, I talk about the fact that
| some underlying technologies were changing
| too fast. I was mostly talking about HAL vs
| DeviceKit/libudev/... saga. Today I've
| discovered another one : PolicyKit vs polkit.

The Free Firewire Audio Drivers reach version 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The FFADO (Free FireWire Audio Drivers)

| based audio devices to Linux systems:
|
| The FFADO project aims to provide a
| generic, open-source solution for the
| support of FireWire based audio devices for
| the Linux platform. It is the successor of
| the FreeBoB project. FFADO is a volunteer-
| based community effort, trying to provide
| Linux with at least the same level of
| functionality that is present on the other

Staging tree status for the .33 kernel merge
,----[ Quote ]
| This was originally sent to the linux-kernel
| and driver-devel mailing lists. Might as well
| post it here to get a wider audience as the
| last report was received well.
|
| Here's a summary of the state of the
| drivers/staging/ tree, basically what will be
| coming in the 2.6.33 merge, and what the status
| of the different drivers are so far.

Kernel Log: Linux 2.6.33 enters test phase
,----[ Quote ]
| With the end of the next kernel version's
| main development phase, the most important
| new features of Linux 2.6.33 have been
| determined: DRBD, Nouveau, support of the
| Trim ATA command and a bandwidth controller
| for block devices. The developers have also
| improved the Radeon drivers and the support
| of Intel Wi-Fi chips. New stable kernels
| also fix a vulnerability in the code of
| Ext4, but will shortly be superseded by
| even more current versions.

Linux 2.6.33 RC1
,----[ Quote ]
| Talking about the merge window: there were a
| lot of trees that left their pull requests
| pretty dang late. Not everything I merged
| yesterday and today were late pull requests,
| but a lot of it was. I'm used to have a
| fairly busy last day of the merge window, but
| it was a busy last two days this time -
| definitely worse than usual.

Kernel Log: New stable kernels, 2.6.33 with DRBD and RT2800PCI
,----[ Quote ]
| Kernel versions 2.6.27.40, 2.6.27.41 and
| 2.6.31.7 offer minor improvements and correct
| several bugs â including one security hole.
| Torvalds has already incorporated more than
| 5,000 changes for Linux 2.6.33. Its merge
| window will probably be open for just over
| another week. Various developers are working
| on significant improvements to the open source
| Radeon graphics drivers.

A Great Present In The Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| David Airlie has just called upon Linus
| Torvalds to pull in the latest DRM patches
| for inclusion into the Linux 2.6.33 kernel.
| The Direct Rendering Manager improvements in
| this next kernel release will be
| particularly interesting and are perhaps as
| significant as earlier kernels that had
| introduced kernel mode-setting support for
| Intel and ATI/AMD hardware along with in-
| kernel memory management. The changes that
| the Linux 2.6.33 kernel will bring are
| aplenty and will impact almost all of those
| using an open-source graphics driver stack.
